Chloe
I have worked across different industries for the past 10 years as an HR professional, in pharmaceutical, brewing and professional services (law). This experience has enabled me to fully appreciate the need for structure and given me the opportunity to be involved in employee relations issues.
What it has also shown me is that I love problem solving and providing a service that ensures the best results.
I have joined greenshoot HR to really see the difference I am making to the people I am supporting, no matter how big or small the problem. My approach will be to foster a strong relationship with you and become your trusted advisor that you turn to when you need HR help. In supporting you to manage difficult situations this can give you the headspace to focus on what’s really important in your business.
Outside of HR support, I am a mum of two young boys who keep me on my toes daily. If I am not trying to navigate being a mum and keeping the boys entertained, you can usually find me in the kitchen trying out a new recipe or out for a run working on that PB!
For more information on the services and support we provide please contact me on 07534052994.

I started my ‘personnel’ training amidst the Miners’ Strike and have been supporting people ever since as an HR manager, trainer, teacher, coach and consultant.
My approach is pragmatic, working to find the right solution fit with my client’s needs. I am ‘there for you’ – to provide advice and options, explore thoughts you have on managing and building your team, support you through HR matters, and even to have a confidential rant (it can be lonely being a business owner).
I’m no gardener but I do know that to stimulate growth, you need to clear the weeds and provide nutrients and support. I believe this applies to working with people too. I may not have a beautiful garden, but I am an excellent ‘people gardener’. Together we can weed out problems to stimulate growth.
Like Chloe, I too have children and grandchildren that keep me on my toes (seems a parent’s job is never done – which is fine by me!). In any spare time, I’d like to say I enjoy cooking, but it’s more about enjoying eating these days as I have my own personal cook, and I also enjoy participating in music and creating homemade jumpers à la Bridget Jones.
How we work
There are only two of us, so you can be assured of speaking to the same person each time you call. That way we get to understand the nature of your business, becoming a remote member of the team. By understanding your business and your people we can suggest options to meet your specific business needs and will be by your side throughout implementation.
Most of the time we will support you virtually, but we recognise the importance of face-to-face meetings and in-person support, especially in those difficult meetings.
We’ll give you great support and advice, but there will be times when you’ll need something extra. Therefore, to ensure you get the best options for your business, we work with a wide range of associates: trainers, coaches, employment solicitors, mediators and other HR professionals.
greenshoot HR offers a retained fee structure for regular HR support, fully bespoke contracts, policies and procedures or we can work on an ad-hoc basis for specific projects or just for advice and document support.
